The SPK airdrop consists of several phases:
- Pre-Farming: Based on early lending and deposit activity on SparkLend and Aave.
- Ignition: Initial airdrop for users satisfying snapshot criteria in specified DeFi activities.
- Overdrive: Ignition participants can stake SPK to earn extra rewards.
- Layer3: Users can earn rewards by completing Spark community quests on the Layer3 platform.
Airdrop Phases and Claim Periods
The SPK airdrop is rolled out over multiple phases, each with distinct timelines. The Ignition phase starts June 17, 2025 and ends on July 29, 2025. This is the initial airdrop batch and users should claim early. Pre-Farming, Layer3, and Cookie.fun airdrops also begin on June 17, 2025. The claim window extends through December 17, 2025 for long-term participants. Overdrive is unlocked following Ignition and its claim deadline is also December 17, 2025. Users who stake can secure additional rewards during Overdrive. Eligible users are strongly encouraged to visit app.spark.fi/SPK/airdrop promptly to check their eligibility and claim. This helps avoid missing out.
Eligibility Criteria and Allocation Mechanisms
- Ignition Phase: At the March 15, 2025 (UTC) snapshot date, users must have at least $5,000 in lending or staking volume across platforms such as Aave, Morpho, Fluid, Pendle, Curve, or Ethena. Multiple qualifying activities grant multiple “units”; allocations are distributed proportionally by unit count, with a total of 325,485,000 SPK distributed in this phase.
- Pre-Farming Phase: Rewards are based on monthly lending activity on SparkLend and Aave. For Season 2, starting May 20, 2024, SparkLend allocates approximately 14,478,261 SPK per month, and Aave approximately 7,239,130 SPK per month. Shares are calculated based on total activity.
- Overdrive Phase: After claiming in Ignition, users may stake their entire SPK allocation. Depositing at least 1,000 USDS or USDC into Spark Savings unlocks a reward boost, increasing yield potential.
- Layer3 Quest: Earn extra SPK by completing official Spark community quests on Layer3.
How to Participate: Connect Your Wallet, View Rewards, and Claim

- Security Reminder: Only use the official app.spark.fi domain—beware of phishing sites and social engineering scams.
- Gas Fees & Network Congestion: Use Ethereum mainnet-compatible wallets. Gas fees fluctuate—anticipate potential fluctuations in gas fees.
- Staking Decisions: Overdrive staking may increase rewards. It also involves the risk of token lockup.
